Back in February of 2009, I wrote an Open Letter to Politicians. In this letter I stated what qualities I think that politicians should have. I am going to step it up a notch and do a post on my political stance. Basically this is a post that explains where I stand politically, and some of the reasoning behind it. Basically if I were to run for any political office, this would be my platform, as well as the platform that I judge all the politicians I vote for.

If you follow my blog, you know that I plan on voting for Mia Love come this November [Previous Post].

The purpose of this post is to shed some light on the facts, and to let others know the truth, and why I am going to vote for Mia in November.

First, I want to share an experience that I had once when interacting with Mia. I have had a lot of opportunities to talk to Mia about issues in …

Yikes…. I received the following email yesterday that was addressed to me, the Bishops, Clerks, Stake Leaders, and Executive Secretaries from several local Latter Day Saint wards.

Utah sees RED. There are a lot of reasons why Utah is considered RED, it hosts the Running Utes (school color is Red), the Bountiful Braves (school color is also Red). But it also is the most RED state in the union because of its high concentration of Republican votes.

But Forbes has given it a #1 rating as the BEST state in the USA for Business. YEAH for Utah. That made me start to think. Lets see what other RED (republican leaning) states are on the top 20 of the list. (You can view the full list here: http://www.forbes.com/special-report/2011/best-states-11_land.html …

A lot of people say there are two things that people should avoid talking about. That is Religion and Politics. I would have to agree in some cases. There are a few people I know not to discuss religion or politics with. There are a lot of people that just don’t think the other side can or should be heard. I will listen to the other side, but that does not mean that I agree with it.
